The Jeb Bush Adviser Who Should Scare You

Vatic Note: Does anyone remember, pre 9-11, the think tank paper written by the neocons and neolibs, calling for the invasion of Iraq, and how that group called for a "PEARL HARBOR" type event to justify and rationalize an invasion of Iraq? It was done by the "New American Century", and the paper was called "Pax Americana".

This was pre-Bush Jr era. Then Cheney quit his job as head of Halliburton Oil and ran as Bush's VP (or his handler, whichever you prefer.). Paul Wolfowitz was the lead of the neocons in this adventure. That is why this is important and why he is so dangerous to be anywhere near the seat of power of such a wealthy and highly technically superior nation that resists all calls for loss of sovereignty and installation of a global New World Order.

Then 9-11 happened and Iraq was blamed for it, and thus began the take over of Iraq. All of this based on Halliburtons discovery of the largest non sulfur oil field in the world, located in Iraq. So much of the Khazar bankers Satanic global New World order was and is tied up in that invasion.

All of this was multi-purpose in scope and intent. First was to secure these massive and economically viable resource rich lands in Iraq for "GREATER ISRAEL" who is now on the march in the middle east to make the dream of a greater Israel a full blown reality, using USA military technology, taxes and might to secure such resources. In other words "To Steal the land from Iraq" and give it to Rothschild's Israel.

Saddam's big mistake was using Halliburton to do the explorations for such resources, since they were controlled 100% by the Globalists and Cheney was their man as CEO of Halliburton at the time. What he realized was the profitability of a sulfur free oil reserve. Most of the serious cost of extracting the oil, is the refining process to rid it of the Sulfur.

Well, that means one of the largest costs of producing usable oil is gone and that normal cost, can then be turned into unimaginable profit compared to all the other oil fields currently under production. This man below is NOT a good corporate citizen, rather he is a fascist and corporations are the boss to these guys, especially the Zionist Khazar bankers.Anyway, you read and decide.

Last week, Jeb Bush, the all-but-announced GOP presidential candidate, stirred up a fuss when he privately told
a group of Manhattan financiers that his top adviser on US-Israeli
policy is George W. Bush. Given that Jeb has tried mightily to distance
himself from his brother, whose administration used false assertions to
launch the still highly unpopular Iraq War, this touting of W.—even at a
behind-closed-doors session of Republican donors—seemed odd.

But
perhaps more noteworthy is that Jeb Bush has embraced much of his
brother's White House foreign policy team. In February, his campaign released a list
of 21 foreign policy advisers; 17 of them served in the George W. Bush
administration. And one name stood out: Paul Wolfowitz, a top policy
architect of the Iraq War—for the prospect of Wolfowitz whispering into
Jeb's ear ought to scare the bejeezus out of anyone who yearns for a
rational national security policy.

Wolfowitz, who was deputy defense secretary under George W.
Bush, was a prominent neocon cheerleader for the invasion of Iraq. He
was also the top conspiracy theorist in the Bush-Cheney crowd. As
Michael Isikoff and I reported in our our 2006 book, Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War,
Wolfowitz, prior to the Iraq War, was a champion of a bizarre theory
promoted by an eccentric academic named Laurie Mylroie: Iraqi dictator
Saddam Hussein, not Islamic extremists such as Al Qaeda, was responsible
for most of the world's anti-United States terrorism.

For
years, Mylroie, who had been an assistant professor of political
science at Harvard University, (VN: a globalist secret society university agent) had promoted the notion that Saddam was
the real terrorist threat to the United States, and law enforcement and
intelligence officials had dismissed her thesis, which was based on
assorted elaborate conspiracies that apparently only she could divine.

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, she developed a complicated
hypothesis that the mastermind of that attack, an Islamic radical who
went by the name of Ramzi Yousef and who had spent time in Afghan
training camps affiliated with Al Qaeda, was actually an Iraqi
intelligence agent who had somehow stolen Yousef's identity. Actually,
according to Mylroie the Iraqi agent had stolen the identity of a
deceased Pakistani and then taken on the name Ramzi Yousef. In any
event, this would mean that Saddam, not Islamic extremists, was behind
this act of war. (VN: how interesting since, Al Qaeda was created and funded by Israel and the USA to undermine middle eastern governments and take control of a nations natural resources. Given her position, she knew that very well and Iraq was important, not only for her oil, but also for her location. We needed permanent military bases near Iran who borders on Russia, and that is who we are really after since their natural resources rival Africa's. Russia's diamond minds are a good example, not just her oil and gas which is horrific, but diamonds as well. DeBeers is probably right in the middle of all this as well, since they control the globes diamond industry from extraction to final sales.)

Mylroie made the rounds of the then-small world of counterterrorism
studies. FBI investigators, federal prosecutors, and the CIA considered
her theory and tossed it aside. She had no compelling evidence. (One CIA
analyst noted, "Not only was it not true, we proved the opposite"—that
Saddam was not connected to the 1993 bombing.) But Mylroie pressed on,
and neocons, who had long been diehard supporters of Israel who yearned
to drum up support for US military action against Iraq, flocked to her
ideas.

Wolfowitz was one of her fiercest advocates. At one point during the
Clinton years, when Wolfowitz was serving as the dean of the Johns
Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, he met with Martin
Indyk, who was overseeing Iraq policy for the National Security Council,
and asked why the Clinton administration had not accepted Mylroie's
view. Indyk told him that the CIA and FBI had settled this issue. But
Wolfowitz was not persuaded. "He was convinced that we were purposely
refusing to see the link for policy reasons," Indyk told Isikoff and me
for our book.

Mylroie continued to peddle her conspiracy idea. After the 1995
Oklahoma City bombing, she insisted that Iraq was also behind this
event. She sent memos to the lawyers for Timothy McVeigh, who was
eventually convicted of mounting this attack, claiming that McVeigh's
co-conspirator, Terry Nichols, had been in league with Ramzi Yousef, the
supposed Iraqi agent.

As for Al Qaeda's bombings of two US embassies in
Africa in 1998 and its 2000 bombing of the USS Cole off the
Yemen coast, Mylroie contended that these attacks were actually the
handiwork of Saddam. "Everything, everything, everything was connected
to Saddam," Daniel Pipes, a former Mylroie collaborator, said. "She
became monomaniacal on the subject." At the core of this was a
fundamental and important policy implication: the US government needed
to worry more about Saddam than radical Islamic fundamentalists.

In 2000, Mylroie published a book on the 1993 World Trade Center bombing called Study of Revenge: Saddam Hussein's Unfinished War Against America.
Wolfowitz had helped her with the manuscript, and in the
acknowledgements Mylroie noted that his wife, Clare, had "fundamentally
shaped this book." The book featured a blurb from him:

"Laurie Mylroie's provocative and disturbing book argues powerfully
that the shadowy mastermind of the 1993 bombing of New York's World
Trade Center, Ramzi Yousef, was in fact an agent of Iraqi intelligence.

If so, what would that tell us about the extent of Saddam Hussein's
ambitions? How would it change our view of Iraq's continuing efforts to
retrain weapons of mass destruction and to acquire new ones? How would
it affect our judgments...and the need for a fundamentally new policy?
These are questions that urgently need to be answered."

This was quite an endorsement. Wolfowitz, who had been a top Pentagon
official for the first President Bush, was a leading member of the
Republican defense establishment, and he was giving his seal of approval
to what was essentially the Da Vinci Code of terrorism. Other
leading neocons praised her work, including former CIA director R. James
Woolsey and ex-Pentagon official Richard Perle. (VN: both neocon khazars)

After George W. Bush entered the White House, Wolfowitz, now the No. 2
official in the Defense Department, pushed Mylroie's theory. At one
point before Sept. 11, 2001, he asked the head of the Defense
Intelligence Agency to have his analysts review her book. (The analysts
did and found nothing to confirm her suppositions.) Wolfowitz also
pressed the CIA to reassess its negative evaluation of Mylroie's theory.
Officials who worked with Wolfowitz later noted that he could cite
specific pages from Mylroie's book. To some, he seemed practically
obsessed with it.

This had serious consequences. In an April 2001 interagency meeting
on terrorism, Richard Clarke, the White House counterterrorism adviser,
noted that a US priority ought to be targeting Osama bin Laden and the
Al Qaeda leaders in Afghanistan. Yet Wolfowitz, Clarke recounted in his
memoir, pooh-poohed this concern with "one man, bin Laden" and said the
government should focus on "Iraqi terrorism."

Not surprisingly, days after 9/11, Mylroie was publicly suggesting
that that it was "extremely unlikely" and "next to impossible" that bin
Laden had pulled off this assault "unassisted by a state." She meant
Iraq. And her views influenced the Bush-Cheney administration's
immediate reaction to 9/11.

The day after the attack, Bush asked Clarke
to search for evidence that Saddam was behind the attack. At a Cabinet
meeting on Sept. 15, Wolfowitz contended there was a 10 to 50 percent
chance that Saddam had helped orchestrate the 9/11 plot, and he proposed
attacking Iraq, observing that a war there might be easier than one in
Afghanistan. In subsequent memos, Wolfowitz pushed the same point. He
also dispatched Woolsey to London to find evidence to prove Mylroie's
theory. (He came back empty-handed.) (VN: is that just incompetence or evil intentional intent to deceive? In both cases, its bad and it shows a serious lack of either critical thinking on his part, or a dangerous penchant for trying to gain power by using the blood of our children to achieve it.)

Ultimately, Bush did not take Wolfowitz's advice to start with a war
on Iraq. He attacked Afghanistan. But as soon as the Taliban regime in
Kabul fell, Bush asked Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to draw up war
plans for Iraq. And Wolfowitz never ceased promoting Mylroie's
Saddam-did-it theory. During a March 17, 2002, lunch with the British
ambassador, Wolfowitz insisted that Saddam was tied to the first World
Trade Center attack. Meanwhile, Mylroie became a television pundit,
claiming that the CIA was covering up the Saddam connection to 9/11.

Throughout this period, Wolfowitz was also promoting a similar theory
within the administration: that said 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta had met
in Prague with an Iraqi intelligence official. CIA and FBI officials
had concluded that this, too, did not occur. (After the Iraq invasion,
Wolfowitz would order WMD hunters in Iraq to search for evidence of the
Atta meeting in Prague; nothing would be found.)

And at the Pentagon,
Wolfowitz oversaw an effort managed by Doug Feith, the undersecretary of
defense for policy, to cherry-pick intelligence to link Iraq to 9/11.
(This attempt yielded no proof.) Wolfowitz also was a prime advocate for
Ahmed Chalabi, the Iraqi exile leader whose Iraqi National Congress
before the war was peddling bad information on Saddam's supposed weapons
of mass destruction.

Wolfowitz's record in office is littered with profound errors. After
General Eric Shinseki, the Army chief of staff, testified before
Congress weeks prior to the invasion of Iraq that it would take "several
hundred thousand soldiers" to occupy Iraq, Wolfowitz said this estimate
was "wildly off the mark." (VN: and look where we are today in Iraq?)

He discounted the possibility of sectarian
violence in Iraq following the invasion, insisted that Iraq's oil
revenues would finance post-war reconstruction, and declared that he was
"reasonably certain that they will greet us as liberators." None of
these claims were based on serious Pentagon, State Department, or CIA
assessments. And none turned out to be true.

Wolfowitz and all his senior-level colleagues in the Bush-Cheney
administration got Iraq wrong. They each were guilty of wishful thinking
and arrogantly believed they knew better than area experts in various
government agencies.

But within this crew, as a ferocious advocate of a
wacky and paranoid conspiracy theory, Wolfowitz went further in denying
reality. And for that, his judgment ought to be questioned. After all,
his passionate embrace of Mylroie's unproven and screwy thesis caused
him to miscalculate one of the most serious threats to the United
States.

He could have been run out of the public sphere for this. Yet
Wolfowitz was awarded the Medal of Freedom by George W. Bush and named
president of the World Bank (where he went on to have a scandalous tenure).
And now Wolfowitz is advising yet another Bush who may end up in the
White House. One can only imagine what dark global conspiracies he's
pitching these days.
